Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown:

f(x) = x2 g(x) = x2 + 8x + 16

In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted to match g(x)?
A. Left by 4 units
B. Right by 4 units
C. Left by 8 units
D. Right by 8 units

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor g(x)

(x+4)(x+4)

(x+4)^2

So f(x) needs to be shifted left by 4 units.

Answer:

Option A, Left by 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert g(x) to a function square

We currently have g(x) in this order:  [tex]ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

However, we want g(x) to be in this order:  [tex](ax + c)^{2}[/tex]

The first thing we have to do is to factor it out:

[tex]g(x)=x^{2}+8x+16[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = (x + 4)(x + 4)[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = (x+4)^{2}[/tex]

Step 2:  Now we can see which way we need to move it

The original form is:  [tex]f(x) = (ax - b)^{2}[/tex]

Since the - has changed to a +, that means that we moved -4 spaces down the x-axis.  This means that we move left by 4 units.

Answer:  Option A, Left by 4 units
